Organized in 1968, the WGMA succeeded former local maritime associations in Houston, Galveston and Brownsville, Texas. The WGMA embraced within one non-profit association the membership of steamship owners, operators, agents along with stevedoring, and terminal companies located in all Texas ports and the Port of Lake Charles, Louisiana. Today the Association has grown to over 200 members. The WGMA provides payroll services, processes grievances, and coordinates training of longshore workers to promote a safe and efficient working environment.

HavocAI is the standard for autonomous commercial maritime operations where safety, speed, and cost-efficiency are paramount.
Havoc delivers complete autonomous capability, combining the industry’s premier software stack with high-quality, mission-specific vessels. Through a single pane of glass, operators gain total situational awareness and real-time operational control of a heterogeneous, multi- domain array. One operator can direct complex objectives — such as wide-area port security or infrastructure monitoring — while Havoc fleets execute those tasks across dozens or even hundreds of platforms simultaneously, from hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Havoc autonomy integrates legacy assets and new, specialized platforms into a single, manageable force. By partnering with industry leaders using sophisticated design and materials, we scale capacity quickly — delivering advanced maritime intelligence, often at 10–20% of the cost of competitors.
Whether it’s continuous patrol, blockade, escort, or rapid search and recovery, Havoc enables human intent at an unprecedented scale. Your team directs a coordinated response, scalable for sea and air without increasing headcount. We seamlessly integrate surface vessels with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for a critical “eye in the sky” that dramatically improves response times and provides a complete, real- time view of the entire port environment. Gain 24/7 presence and awareness with an advanced, always-on capability that ensures security and monitoring never sleep, closing the gaps left by traditional, shift- based manned patrols. Havoc is the scalable, intelligent advantage.
